As already stated, plug is by the bonet pop, under a piece of plastic.

just out of curiosity how long are the crankshaft sensors supposed to last ?the last 1 i got was from fiat original component just over 20,000 miles and had to change it again seems strange,never had a car done this before.

 

[Devious]

Certainly not that soon....

 

[erictiscoff]

i wonder if there's an underlying problem then ive changed the sensor twice in four years now ? maybe the code reader will show somthing else.

ordered the vag lead off ebay it has a switch so you can check ABS - AIR BAGS as well only £12.00 hope it works and comes with a disk with fiatecuscan+usb driver.
